Cannot give a gift to Echo

I have 25+ hours in the game. I've beaten Chronos and Eris a couple of times and have seen Echo maybe 10+ times. Still, there's no prompt showing up to give her a bottle of nectar. I know it's possible as the note about her says "she's open for a gift".

things like this happens when devs update games and refuse to give patch notes to what they attempt to fix.
people ask questions and nobody has a dang clue if it's something intentional or not because who knows. maybe it was disabled due to some gamebreaking reason. maybe not.
but, we have no right to ask for patch notes. so, guess we just assume it's intentionally disabled then. either that or someone has no clue how to bug fix.
we just blind labrats scurrying around trying to find what is broken without ever being informed if we are actually being heard.
game is good, the early access testing is nearly warranting a negative review with how it's being handled.

I have her maxed with Nectar but I am not entirely sure how I unlocked her gift option. She does have a full story line with Narcissus so it could also be related to him. Maybe you need to make some progress with him first until you learn some more about Echo and then the gift option becomes available.

But again, I am not sure if it's related to that or maybe it is just bugged for you guys. I wasn't fully paying attention but I do remember that I didn't have a gift option for her avaible immediately for her either. Seems like it could just be bugged unfortunately since with 25+ hours you should have unlocked it by now imo.

good point. issue is, book says it's available to give and isn't locked like it should be like all the other characters who can be gifted but aren't ready to receive yet.
but, devs refuse to give any information about bug fixes so, anyone who quits due to any bugs holding back content, they will never return to double check because there will never be any sign that it was fixed.
bugs break audience retention. no indication that any feedback is listened to because patch notes are refused to be given, means people who experience a bug like this one, will never know when it's fixed.

I believe it does have something to do with that questline. I have advanced it without giving her nectar first. I distinctly remember I didn't have one on me when I first met her.

It's fine, the game hasn't been out for a week yet. Well get them as soon as they're ready.

I'm not complaining, just wanted to post the issue, because I couldn't find this problem on the forums

It is 100% related to this. I was unable to give her a gift, found this thread, then progressed this until Narcissus talks about Echo. Then the next time I talked to Echo, she offered me the boon and then I was able to gift her nectar and get the keepsake.

Damn well it's early access this kind of things are to be expected. Still it sucks

Don't know if it's intended or not but basically for almost all characters if you interact/talk to them before giving a gift you will be barred from giving gift and will have to do another run and meet them again. For me it's super annoying, I just talked to someone and they are standing in front of me but I can't give them a gift "just because".

I had this issue and after reading this thread said fk it I just won't have her keepsake. Next time I ran into her I spammed the gift button beside her and it worked. So it's there, it just doesn't show.
